Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 22:16:

• Uma: “They got an idea: they ordered several of their followers with several people who were on the side of King Herodes to go to Yesus. They said saying to him: ‘Teacher, we know that Teacher is a straight [upright, just] person. Your (sing.) teaching is very straight [true, just], saying what is the will of God for man. You (sing.) do not submit to anyone, because you (sing.) do not discriminate [consider-the-appearance-of] people.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Then they sent their disciples/adherents and the disciples/adherents of Sultan Herod to Isa. When they arrived there they said to Isa, ‘Sir, we know that all what you say is true and your teaching about what God wants mankind to do is true. You are not troubled about what people think about you, even if they are people with authority.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And they sent to Jesus their disciples and some members of the party of Herod, and these said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, we know that you are a righteous man. You teach the true thing which God wants us to do, and what people say cannot change your teaching because you don’t show favoritism to anybody.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Then they sent their disciples who were Pharisees and the ones who belonged to Herod’s party/group to go to Jesus. When they found/came-across him, they said, ‘Sir teacher, we (excl.) know that everything you (sing.) say is true. We (excl.) also know that you (sing.) do not distinguish the one who has status (lit. something to be acknowledged), but rather you (sing.) are teaching the truth concerning what God wants people to do.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “What they did was they sent some of their followers together with some of Herodes’ supporters. On arriving, they said, ‘Teacher, we (excl.) know that what you say is wholly true, and what you teach about the will of God is really the truth. The truth of that is that whether important or low-class people, your teaching is the same.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Therefore they sent some of their men, accompanied by some of Herod’s people to speak with Jesus. They said to him: ‘Listen, teacher, we know that you are a good man, for all that you speak is correct. Truly you teach the word about how God wants us to walk. And you do not fear what people think of you. Even though they might have high authority, yet you do not fear to say whatever is true.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
